I've moved this thread to the Dining Reviews board.
There are a few reviews from actual DISers on the other thread. This is pretty much the same review that we gave in July, and we paid $10.00 a person less, so it seems not much has changed except for the steep price.

On 4/6 Wishes was at 10PM, so we got over there about 8:40. We checked in and were told we were in group C. I didn't know what that meant (still don't LOL).
Tables were assigned so no need to rush in. We had a table almost dead center (maybe that was the "C"). I had booked this afte 2 days of trying and getting "it's not in the system". The morning I booked I still couldn't get it, but I got home after work and found out it was booking and called.
DH was not wild about paying the extra $ for the 5 of us, but he's usually pretty good about letting me try things at least once at WDW.
The desserts were amazing! My 18 year old DD loved the mango shooter best. My 14 year old DD liked anything chocolate, as did my DS. DH isn't a chocoholic like the rest of us, but he found plenty to like, especially canolli.
I liked almost everything. My one mistake was the creme brulee. I LOVE creme brulee--ate it last week at Wolfgang Puck Express, Narcoosees, and Sunshine Season--but I didn't read the whole sign--it was PISTACHIO creme brulee--and for me, IMHO, it was gross.
They had lots of tea options, and both tea and unsweet tea, plus lemonade.
There was only one small table in front of us, a mom/son combo, so we didn't even have to stand for the fireworks. Tons of good pics. Tink didn't fly--it was a little windy--which was a shame because the thing went right over where we were. People seated on the sides could go up to the railing and stand if needed.
I love the limited seating and the fact that it's not a big cattle call rush to get seated where you want. And I really loved not wasting 2 hours of park time staking out a fireworks spot!!!! We spent that time doing all the tomorrowland stuff.
I highly recommend this.

I was looking for a thread and couldn't find it. I will try to locate it. Thanks
Here is a new review from All Ears from March 28th - it seems to indicate that the past practice of clearing tables before Wishes starts, is still going on:
